COMMUTERS are travelling on twice as many trains from Hooton to Liverpool.

On Monday a new timetable was launched on the Liverpool-Chester route, with the Monday to Saturday daytime service being increased to every 15 minutes from every 30 minutes.

Stations between Hooton and Birkenhead Central now have six trains an hour to and from Liverpool.

Capenhurst station is not included in the additional service due to timing restrictions but is still served by two trains an hour to Liverpool. The Ellesmere Port to Liverpool train times have also changed.
